RetroPay by Element is the recommended RetroPay process for most localizations, and is required if you use Enhanced RetroPay.

   To set up RetroPay by Element:

1. Create the retroactive element. The recommended settings are:

   • Non-recurring

   • Multiple entries allowed

   View this element in the RetroPay field of the Element Description window. By default, retroactive elements use the same name as the element that they represent, but you can change this name for user-defined elements.

2. Enter retroactive changes using DateTrack.

3. Create assignment and element sets including the assignments and elements for retroactive processing. The element set type is Run Set.

   Note: North American HRMS: For earnings elements defined as Reduce Regular, include the Special Features element in the element set.

   Use one of two methods to create your assignment set:

   • Use the Assignment Set window. This method is useful when you have a few employees to include in a RetroPay run and you are confident that you can identify all the employees that you want to include.

   • Run the Retro-Notifications report to automatically generate an assignment set of all employees with retrospective changes.. This method is useful if you want to be certain that your assignment set includes all potential changes. You can edit this assignment set to add and remove assignments.
